Funny that about two weeks back, the Canadiens hosted over 30 prospects in Brossard, including the team's first selection from each of the last four NHL Entry Drafts, and nary a fan or member of the media was at the rink to watch them. And yet, the group of just 14 - much younger and thus less experienced/proven - presently taking part in the second half of the club's Development Camp is drawing a packed house. Let's call it the Alex Galchenyuk effect.

Ordinarily, the second Habs development camp of the summer is a quiet little affair. From the outset though, I knew today would be different. I arrived two and a half hours before the players were to step on the ice, and I wasn't alone.

On June 22nd and 23rd, the Canadiens took a major step forward in what can only be described as a very successful draft. What follows is a complete examination of each player chose by the Habs in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
